Albanian American Society

The Albanian-American Student Organization of Iona College is a club that allows members of the Iona College community to come together and celebrate the Albanian heritage and culture. As members of this club, we wish to promote our traditions throughout the school community. Our aim is to keep our culture alive and preserve it in first generation Albanians in America and in the future generations. This club would give students the opportunity to make connections with people who have the same ethnic background as they do. This club was established in 2016. As a club, we joined the chapters of Albanian-American Student Organization in Michigan to link more organizations to work together.

Meetings

Members meet every other Tuesday at noon.

Events

In the past AASO has held events to celebrate Mother Teresa’s sainthood, Albanian Independence Day Dinner Dance, Gatsby Extravaganza, Balkan Mixer and Iona Cup. We hope to continue some of these events and host new ones! As a club, we also continuously work with a non-profit organization, Classmates Forever.
